Sony Xperia Z3 India Launch Pegged for September 19

Few days back, at the IFA 2014 tech show in Berlin, the Japanese tech vendor Sony announced the launch of a slew of devices including the Xperia Z3, Xperia Z3 Compact and Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact. Now, it appears like the flagship smartphone of the trio will be launching in India on September 19. It has to be noted that the smartphone is currently on pre-order on numerous countries across the world.

Moreover, Sony’s current flagship smartphone Xperia Z2 has been on sale only for four months and so soon we can expect its successor to replace it. While it is claimed that the Xperia Z3 will be launching in India on September 19, there is no clear picture on its pricing or on the specific release dates of the smartphone. Anyways, it would be a great competitor to the flagship smartphones that are already available and those that will be heading to India.
